Introduction
In this Lesson you will learn about coding your robot to complete autonomous movements and how to succeed in an autonomous challenge. Then, you will apply your learning by creating a VEXcode EXP project to pick up and place two rings on the small post in the Coding Crunch Challenge. Watch the animation below to see one way the Clawbot could score the rings to complete the challenge.
In the video below, the Clawbot is on the left side of the field. There are two Rings on the field: one located near the top of the field, between the second and third tiles, and another near the bottom of the field, also between the second and third tiles. There is a single post in the middle of the field, towards the right side. The video starts with a countdown: 3, 2, 1. The Clawbot drives to the second and third tiles and then moves up towards the first Ring, picking it up. It then raises its claw and backs up. Next, it drives to the post and releases the claw, letting the Ring fall onto the post. Afterward, the Clawbot backs up and lowers the claw. It then drives to the second ring at the bottom of the field, picks it up, turns, and drives to the post. The Clawbot releases the claw, allowing the ring to fall onto the post. The timer stops at this point as the challenge is now completed, showing 15:13 seconds. All of these are done autonomously.
